Abstract:
We use a Sophomore-level wildlife conservation course to evaluate the effectiveness of distance education technologies. We examine student preferences for and the cost efficiency of videotape versus live broadcast technologies. Based on responses from in-class surveys we find that some technologies, such as a live phone bridge, were costly and ineffective forms of communication. Students preferred to spend extra time outside of lecture for discussion groups with an on-site faculty or other students.
Keywords:
